Door Project: Research 2

While the Myst series is 2D I am trying to create a 3D door, so the 3D aspects have to be envisioned though the research, and I cannot rely on using the games to help with this part. I am focusing on the visual style and theme of Myst, mainly focusing on the buildings within Myst III: Exile.

The game has a steampunk theme mixed with some of the more ornate window designs of the art nouveau movement. Often exteriors as well as interiors have a late Victorian quality to them, which coincides with both styles.

Curves are often used within all the architecture and will be an important feature for my door design.

After receiving the brief I decided to pick a game series which I used to love and was one of the first games I played, the Myst series.

Due to being a graphic adventure game it relies heavily on the quality of the images, which are often visually stunning and highly distinctive.
